Study on blood thinners and artery health for small vessel stroke
This study tests whether a combination of antiplatelet drugs and artery-stabilizing medication can improve recovery after a small stroke caused by damage to tiny blood vessels in the brain. It may help prevent further strokes and support healing.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 30–79 - NCT06725719Recruiting
TSPO PET scan study for people with tumors
This study tests a special PET scan that looks at a protein called TSPO, which may be active in tumors. It may help doctors understand and monitor certain cancers better.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06726941Recruiting
Exercise and gene changes in stroke recovery
This study looks at how exercise affects certain genes and chemical changes in the body for people who have had a stroke. It may help find new ways to improve recovery after a stroke.
AfyonkarahisarAges 25–70 - NCT06730711Recruiting
Blood pressure and stroke-related thinking changes
This study looks at how blood pressure after a stroke might affect your thinking and memory. It uses information from your hospital stay and follow-up visits to see if there is a link.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06731673Recruiting
HSP47 protein study in blood clots
This study looks at a protein called HSP47 in people with blood clots, heart attacks, or strokes caused by atrial fibrillation, compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to learn more about how blood clots form and may lead to better treatments.
Aarhus, Central RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06733025Recruiting
Comparing surgery and Botox for arm spasticity
This trial compares two treatments—Botox injections or surgery—for arm and hand spasticity after a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you decide which option works best for you.
MölndalAges 18 years+ - NCT06733246Recruiting
Ceretrieve Device for acute ischemic stroke treatment
This study tests a new device called Ceretrieve that is designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain for people having a severe ischemic stroke. If you are eligible, you will receive the device treatment (a mechanical thrombectomy) within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT06735898Recruiting
A combined therapy for recovery after intensive care
This trial tests a combination of CYTOFLAVIN (given as an IV and later as a pill) to help people with long-term symptoms after spending time in the ICU. It aims to improve muscle weakness, breathing, swallowing, and energy levels during later stages of rehabilitation.
Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT06741475Recruiting
Caregiver help strategy training for stroke recovery
This study tests a caregiver-assisted strategy training program for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see if having a healthy caregiver help with daily tasks can improve recovery for those who have limited rehabilitation.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06748703Recruiting
Optic nerve injury in obstructive sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether sleep apnea affects the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain. It is for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who have not yet received treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06749106Recruiting
Using MRI to find bleeding in neck artery plaque
This study uses MRI scans that are already done as part of your stroke care to look for bleeding inside plaque in the neck arteries. The goal is to see if this bleeding can help predict stroke risk.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT06749197Recruiting
Home-based cognitive rehab for brain injury
This study tests a home-based computerized brain training program for people with acquired brain injury. It aims to help improve thinking skills like memory and attention through exercises you can do on your own computer or tablet.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06749834RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug after stroke in people on newer blood thinners
This trial tests whether a clot-busting medication given through a vein (intravenous thrombolysis) can safely treat acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours in people who have taken a newer oral blood thinner (NOAC) within the last 4 to 48 hours.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06757764RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke from artery narrowing: testing combination of anti-platelet drugs
This trial tests whether a combination of two or three anti-platelet medicines (like aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol) is safe and works better than one alone for people who had a stroke from a narrowed artery. The goal is to prevent another stroke.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 20 years+ - NCT06758609Recruiting
Brain cooling plus clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests a new treatment that combines cooling the brain with a catheter and removing the clot to restore blood flow — for people who have had a major stroke in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT06763055RecruitingPhase 3
Study of two drugs for spontaneous brain bleed recovery
This trial compares two medicines (deferoxamine and colchicine) to see if they can prevent further brain damage after a spontaneous brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to improve recovery by reducing inflammation and iron-related damage.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–80 - NCT06775028Recruiting
Integrated care for older adults with atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing a new approach to care for older adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who also have other health conditions. It aims to see if a more integrated, team-based care plan helps improve their overall health and quality of life.
HaskovoAges 65 years+ - NCT06782464Recruiting
Freezing nerves for shoulder pain after stroke or brain injury
This trial tests if freezing certain nerves in the upper arm (cryoneurolysis) works as well as standard care for reducing shoulder pain and muscle tightness after a stroke or brain injury. It aims to improve function and ease caregiving tasks.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06786858Recruiting
Hand exoskeleton training for stroke recovery
This study tests whether a robotic hand device (exoskeleton) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve hand movement. It may benefit those who still have some hand function but struggle to open their affected hand.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 21 years+ - NCT06793800Recruiting

- How do I know if I qualify for a stroke trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
